Line 22: Line 22:
There has been a heavy update of the codebase of mentors.debian.net, including moving from Python 2 to 3 and changing frameworks from Pylons to Django. A few new features were also introduced. More details are available in the [[https://lists.debian.org/5cb7543f-6104-f3d5-e617-04ddb76c709b@cilg.org|announcement mail]]. I'm [[https://lists.debian.org/msgid-search/e5e75cd7a4ecfd9129b31af2daed9054606b0860.camel@debian.org|looking for]] collaborators on the [[https://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/Census|Debian derivatives census]], which aims to [[https://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/Integration|integrate]] derivatives with the Debian community and infrastructure. I'm looking for folks who are not very involved in Debian and would like to increase their involvement. The census involves a mixture of information, social and technical work. I believe the census is valuable to Debian and to derivatives and that it helps build mutually beneficial connections between Debian and the wider community of Free Software distributions.

=== Removal of debhelper compat 5 and 6 ===

As announced, [[https://lists.debian.org/msgid-search/ae4185bc-af05-8c53-91ae-f29c9817aac4@thykier.net|debhelper compat 5 and 6 are now planned for removal]]. This is expected to happen no later than during the bookworm development cycle (buster + 1).

Please review your packages affected by the removal and plan their migration to a supported compat level. Please keep in mind that compat bumps are '''NOT''' accepted during the freeze per the [[https://release.debian.org/bullseye/FAQ.html|FAQ from the Release Team about unblocks]].

The differences between compat levels are documented in the [[https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/debhelper/debhelper.7.en.html#Supported_compatibility_levels|debhelper(7) manual page]].

=== new Debian world map ===

There is a new world map of Debian Developers [[https://map.debian.net/|available]].
Currently it contains data from the [[https://wiki.debian.org/Keysigning/Offers|keysigning offers]] list in the wiki.
If you spot problems: Development happens at [[https://salsa.debian.org/ukleinek/debianmap|salsa]], feel free to report issues and send pull requests, especially for additional [[https://wiki.debian.org/DebianLocations|Debian location data sources]].

=== Janitor Merge Proposals Now Include Debdiff / Diffoscope Output ===

Merge proposals created by the [[https://janitor.debian.net/|janitor]] now include the debdiff between a build with and without the changes (showing the impact to the binary packages), in addition to the merge proposal diff (which shows the impact to the source package).

New merge proposals also include a link to the [[https://www.diffoscope.org/|diffoscope]] diff between a vanilla build and the build with changes. Unfortunately, these can be a bit noisy for packages that are not reproducible yet, due to the difference in build environment between the two builds.

This is part of the effort to keep the changes from the janitor high-quality.

=== Qt 6 looking for new maintainers ===

Dmitry Shachnev and I [[https://perezmeyer.blogspot.com/2020/08/stepping-down-as-qt-6-maintainers.html|decided not to maintain Qt 6 whenever it gets published]] based mostly on time issues. We will do our best to keep Qt 5 in shape for the remainder of its life.

We will be happy to review and/or sponsor other people's work or even occasionally do uploads, but we can't promise to do it regularly.

So if you would like to have Qt 6 in the archive, you should consider stepping up for the job.

Collaborators needed for derivatives census

I'm looking for collaborators on the Debian derivatives census, which aims to integrate derivatives with the Debian community and infrastructure. I'm looking for folks who are not very involved in Debian and would like to increase their involvement. The census involves a mixture of information, social and technical work. I believe the census is valuable to Debian and to derivatives and that it helps build mutually beneficial connections between Debian and the wider community of Free Software distributions.
